water a tree / 日中青年友好

In 1984, there was a discussion between China and Japan to establish this centre in order to induce cultural and economical exchange of young generations. These stamps were issued to promote the plan. The centre was built finally in 1991 in Beijing – so, it was a bit like watering a small plant to grow a tree. I have not found any stamp to celebrate its completion, yet.

Following lastest three posts, which I happened to feature Japanese kimono girls, I am introducing these stamps from China. 3 March is a Girl’s Day in Japan.
